Seems like the public has chosen their favorite album cut on the album. This is #14 on iTunes.
This leaked AGES ago. It samples "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve.
The vocals here are HORRIBLE though and I usually don't mind him. The way he pronounces the word "solo" is annoying as hell.
I still think this would be a hit though because of the sample.

I like this song, but it feels so old to me. I wouldn't hate this being a single - the sample is solid - but there are better tracks on the album. (*cough*Love Hangover*cough*)

I just noticed this debuted at No. 33 on the Hot 100. This is definitely a change of pace from "Whatcha Say" and "In My Head". But the chorus is so annoying. The way he pronounces the word "solo" is annoying as hell. Yeah, it sounds even worse than the way IYAZ sings it in his song. |

Goes for adds May 11. This is awful, and I really liked his first two singles.

This is one of the better tracks on his album, and I've already heard people singing it randomly, but "Love Hangover" is by far the better song, and would make for a great summer track. This could wait until fall.

This sounds almost exactly like "Replay" or "Me Love". It's an okay song but I don't think this is his third #1 to be.

Everyone's already into this. I'm not, and I liked his first two singles too.
It's going to be another big hit though.

I don't feel like this song is like "Me Love" or "Replay" at all. It's much bigger and more upbeat than those. It's also straight up up pop with no reggae vibes.
Also, I don't hear a Verve sample.

Also, I don't hear a Verve sample. The opening strings, which then repeat throughout the chorus, are lifted directly from the opening of "Bittersweet Symphony." |

I like this now.
He's doing really well in the UK and the US, but his album sales are awful.

The adds date is now May 25th.
This does not sound like a hit. I think it'll stall just outside the Top 20.

I think this is going Top 10 easily. The sample carries it.

I can kind of tell when I really listen close, but I would never have picked up on it unless someone told me.

Guys, there are two different versions of the song. The video version and the one that radio plays does not include the sample that the original did when it leaked. It might be because they didn't get permission to use it and therefore had to take it out when it became a single.

Ah, I didn't know that. But even without the actual sample, you can hear his voice following the pattern of "Bittersweet Symphony."

Most Added: 25 adds.
This will not do as well as "In My Head" that's for sure.

I think we all better get used to Jason DeRulo. Out of him, Iyaz, Jay Sean, and Taio Cruz... it looks like DeRulo is the one that's going to stick.
